I find Emacs Macros and rectangular editing as more useful in lore situations than multiple cursors.
As for regexps, the syntax in Emacs is hell, but I do know Emcacs has very powerful edit/replace tools.

- germandiago 3y agoYeah... typing fast and from the phone has this problem
- overtomanu 3y agoMulti-cursor is more flexible than rectangular selection. You can skip or delete words of varying length etc. It is certainly less powerful than vim macro and regex, but it's easy to use because 1) there are less shortcuts to remember 2) no need to think too much like figuring out regex for simple tasks 3) it gives instant feedback Video showing this https://youtu.be/lhFNWTAIzOI?t=28 https://youtu.be/lhFNWTAIzOI?t=28
